I have accepted a challenge posted on Ravelry to create 10 articles in 2010. I am hoping to make socks. I found an inspiring blog, "Loumms' Year in Socks." The patterns and blog timeline were completed last year, but at that time turning the heel of a sock was not an ambition of mine. Now, I find I find myself no longer intimidated by cables and had the a-ha! moment when the engineering of a sock heel clicked in my head. Taking one-dimensional pieces and creating a 3-dimensional garment has always fascinated me so now I am doing the same thing with a piece of string and some sticks. I am also determined to make my first mittens and tam this year. I'll probably throw in a couple dog sweaters for good measure.

About Me

I am fairly new to quilting (5 years) but have been sewing for about 30 years. I currently work at Happiness is Quilting (woo-hoo!) and love it, love it. It's not really work if you love it, is it?
I also knit, crochet, and hook rugs. In a pinch, I can embroider.
I am also remuddling a craftsman bungalow in quaint, artsy, historic McKinney. As well as attempting to ride herd on a husband, two teens, a cat, a dog, and my fantasy football team.
On vacation, we visit minor and independent league baseball teams.
